From seemingly not having enough time to sit down and do some art I have found ways over the years to grab snippets of time. I no longer wait for those big chunks of time because they never happen, and if they do very rarely but found as I kept working especially on the smaller stuff there were more little chunks of time that soon added up. I also had to get over not being able to finish a piece of work in one sitting, and this painting is a great example. You can see what it looked like before HERE
It started out as most of my paintings do now a days as a background and then I sketched loosely, I wasn't sure where I was going to go with it, and allowed myself the time to let it develop.
This painting reminds me of my brother Robert who passed away, last year. Once I had completed the painting I realized that it was the very thing I had experienced with him the day before he said goodbye.
One of my last conversations with Robert was about his faith, and he chose to give his life. Moments later a burst of sunshine filled the hospital room, it was a magical moment that I will never forget.
I am enjoying my time creating and will be sharing a different piece every day this week for you to enjoy, some will be made available as prints at my Society 6 store if you would like to buy
